SES Astra Speed Tests

I promised to publish some more information on the speeds we are seeing through our SES Astra satellite broadband system here in the office in the Limousin.

We take tests at random times - the results are not intended as any sort of guarantee of the speeds you will receive but we hope these real life examples are useful in helping you decide whether satellite broadband is right for you.

Test from 03/02/2015 at 18.34 French time. Late afternoon is the time we are typically seeing slowest speeds, dropping to around 7 or 8 Mbps:

About Me

I have been providing independent support to ex-pats in France on all matters relating to phone & internet since 2002.

If you are relocating to or within France & need help organising phone & broadband services then we can provide a fully managed service for you. Also, if you are in dispute or unhappy with your current provider then we can deal with them on your behalf.

If you find yourself in a broadband blackspot then we can advise & arrange alternative solutions including fast satellite internet.
